Who are the TIMSHEL-trio?

The TIMSHEL trio – currently located in the Netherlands – started as a working band in 2010. With influences in jazz, improvised music and everything near by, the three young musicians merge their voices to develop their own approach and ideas with original compositions ever since. Piano, drums, cello – this rather unconventional setting opens the way for slightly different choices of interplay and improvisation, but still the familiar sound of a piano trio remains. The TIMSHEL trio shows that mutual trust is a crucial condition for sparkling and fragile improvisations.

The Timshel trio consists of Malte Bogner, Jonathan Reiter and Veit Steinmann, who met and studied together at ArtEZ hogeschool voor de kunsten in Arnhem.

“Once every few years there is this group of students that form a, what feels to be a real organic cooperative, eh, thing. In this trio I heard it from the first moment on. Having a trio in which the members are top-quality musicians as well as able to give communication priority all the time is not obvious, even if you thought it was. This trio has it: good compositions, excellent playing, ultimately putting communication first. I love it.” (Michiel Braam)
